NBA Finals Discussion Thread

lol, they are stupid comparisons. Really LeBron is more comparable to Magic Johnson.

I think LeBron is going to end up 2nd best ever after Jordan. Comparing styles of play is a whole different topic. But when you talk about best ever which includes all types of players, I put him right behind Jordan after this performance.

Lebron played epic defense.

If you are starting your own team who do you want? Lebron or curry?

Well LeBron is better than Magic, definitely there. But I'd say their styles are more compareable. LeBron doesn't really take over the way Jordan did. LeBron is more the distributor who finds the open guy and makes it happen. He can make the play sometimes, but with Jordan you could just about always rely on him to make it. LeBron never really had that clutch affect or killer instinct we saw in Jordan or Kobe.

Lebron but Curry is more entertaining

Well, LeBron, though he's getting old, he still puts your team in the Finals in the Eastern Conference lol.

Curry is useless if he's not hitting threes.

Agree. I do think this series was LeBron just shear willing them to victory in all facets. But he did need Kyrie to play his ass off as well. What a series.

If Irving doesn't play the way he did, it wouldn't have matter what LeBron did.

LeBron got 41 in Game 5, if Irving doesn't join him in getting 41, there is no game 6.

LeBron is definitely the Finals MVP, but he won because of Irving really stepping it up after Game 2.

Gotta give it to the Warriors, they were very gracious in defeat. No Cam Newton.

Honestly if lebron wins another one with the cavs i think the discussion is up in the air. Lebron played on worse teams, and had a very similar impact that mj did when he left chicago. Theyre different players, no doubt, but theyre both legends and no question the two best ever.

 

[Novak]

Warriors got what they deserved, but at the same time the Cavs didn't get what they deserved imo. Very confusing, albeit entertaining, series.

We saw Pippen without Jordan and it was a huge drop off. It would have been interesting to see Jordan in his prime without Pippen.

One thing I hated this game was that they were chucking 3's with 20 seconds on the shot clock. If they played patient and didn't play like they were under duress they could've broken that lead open in the final quarters of this game. Gotta give Cleveland something, now that they got a ring LeBron ain't gonna pack his things up and give his neighbors cupcakes. |: Good job Cavs.

I don't buy that. LeBron lost two finals with that loaded Heat team. While I can excuse 2007 and last year (injuries) I can't excuse the loss to the Mavs at all, and they survived 2013 thanks to a rebound and a Ray Allen three.

Perhaps its just the homer in me, but I can't put LeBron > Jordan in any circumstance. The best LeBron can be to me is the 2nd best player in NBA history.

Yep. Glad my vote meant something.

Warriors have been doing that all season long.
